AW: SubCentral v0.9.1 - download & manage subtitles (Moving Pictures/MP-TVSeries/othe

Hi,

it doesn't work for me with 1.2 Beta. MP tells at startup that the plugin isn't compatible.

Dude, check out the start post... there is a special dll for 1.2.0 beta available. Simple search would've given you that information.

Re: SubCentral v0.9.1 - download & manage subtitles (Moving Pictures/MP-TVSeries/othe

Hi all,
I'm happy new user of MediaPortal and I found SubCentral very useful plugin in combination with Moving Pictures and MP-TVSeries plugins.

I'm from Czech Republic so I'd like to have Czech subtitles for my movies. Because SubCentral don't have any plugin for biggest Czech subtitles site www.titulky.com, I created one (see TitulkyCom.zip attachment).

To use plugin just copy contents of TitulkyCom.zip to [RootDirectory]\SubtitleDownloaders where [RootDirectory] is your MediaPortal install directory. There is one .dll and one .xml file. Both are needed.

Plugin is able to search and download subtitles from www.titulky.com. For some subtitles you have to be registered on site (free) so for this purpose, there is configuration option via TitulkyComConfig.xml file. You can enter your login and password into this file as described inside XML and plugin will use these to download restricted subtitles.

Titulky.com site has one annoying "feature" which sometimes requires you to wait for about 15 seconds before you can download subtitles. Because of this I had to implement wait into plugin so download of any subtitles will take about 20 seconds. This is expected behavior so be patient when downloading.

Current version of SubCentral doesn't have asynchronous download so these 20 seconds will freeze UI. I didn't like that on my HTPC so I made download asynchronous. See attachment "async_patch.patch" for details.
Second change is addition of error handling for download operation.
Third minor change in patch is to include error messages from plugins in message that is displayed to user. Problem is that notification dialog has only three short lines of text which is not very much for some descriptive message. We'll see what can be done with it. This may or may not be a good idea so I let you decide if you want it.

Can I add another feature request? This is an addition to the thread in the mptv series section, but since you're not in the popular plugins yet, I'll post it here.

When you only have one subtitle source selected, you still need to select it. Can you make it so it searches it automatically if you only have one source? I've found the default location option in the config, so that's one click less. The less clicking the better

(because A. I'm lazy and B. I've just bought my third harmony remote because I wore them all down. This s#*t is getting pricey )

Raytestrak: you can achieve the same by creating a group with only this provider enabled. Then set this group default for TV Series (or Movies - or both). You need to set up one more option to enable automatic search. Sorry for the vague explanation but that's all I can do until tomorrow

Feature request:

The by far best site for tv subtitles is Addic7ed in my opinion. Is it possible to add that site?

Question to add providers is asked quite a few times and I always redirect users to read FAQ on the first page
